      Verdict

      Barracuda Boy is certainly good enough at this level but is a frustrating type and hasn't won since 2012. Bedloe's Island is best over the minimum trip while the likes of Mappin Time and Valmina have struggled in this grade before. Caspian Prince is dropping down in class and has claims only 2lb higher than when scoring here in January, but PANDAR is just preferred. He's looking to end a long losing run but was rated 104 at the start of last season. After a recent pipe-opener in better company over track and trip, Milton Bradley's charge may be up to landing this off his current mark and gets a tentative vote.
